Is that part of a candle holder/grave lantern - znicze?
The date is All Saint's Day so you're going to the cemetery to light the candle/lantern? Not sure about the foil though or maybe the whole guess is wrong.

I know. There are real lights there and you are adjusting camera settings.
What I had in mind was exposure settings, longer shutter speeds and wider aperture to capture light trails.
that shows a real event.

Travel / About cars, electric and combustion in Poland. [162]
My Vauxhall Tigra was one of the most reliable cars I had.
Not in the UK. Just on a practical level there simply won't ever be enough charging stations available. At home charging for EV's would be a joke with so many houses converted to flats etc with no driveways and only on street parking.
Electric prices continue to soar, EV's are destroying the roads because they're so heavy and if something goes wrong with them you will need deep pockets to get them fixed.
There some on the roads in California:

So what about all the years you spent in the US before 1984? You felt safe enough that you didn't need to own a gun?

USA, Canada / Polish wife for Chicago Pole - TV show [8]
I remember switching channels and seeing a clip of the UK version of the farmer wants a wife or love in the countryside. It featured a young girl in stilettos looking like she was going clubbing trying to negotiate the mud on a pig farm.
I didn't watch much more because it was so obviously a set up with totally mismatched people there for entertainment value. Maybe the Polish one will be a bit different but I think a lot of people go on these shows for their 5 minutes of fame. I can't say I'm a fan of these reality shows as I find them uninteresting.
I have already proved to you that men are equally capable of just the same with the video I posted on another thread. I don't know any women on this side of the pond that behave anything remotely like any of the women in your videos so it appears that the US has more than its fair share of nutters.
what do you think about such shows?

There is no 'tolerable' number. However, you need to give exact figures. After all, it's nothing less than you demand from PF members for your ridiculous questions.

The only thing I can think of is that it has a sort of symbolic meaning? In the sense that there's always an empty plate for the stranger on Wigilia, this is a bowl for a family member who has passed?
The date doesn`t matter but it matters that was a family reunion.

You can reject it but it is obvious from what you have written that you are in the wrong and it will kill you to admit it :)
Then it must be to do with how it's served? In that bowl? I don't think the date is significant.
I feel it is fair to reject your suggestions of hair splitting. :):)

Here is what you actually said:
You're hair-splitting again :)
I would say either 2 different types of meat for Kotlet Schabowy, maybe traditional pork and chicken. or more likely one of the heaps is a vegetarian version for your kids.
but croquettes look like rolled tubes while in the picture nothing is or is going to be rolled up. :):):
Here is what you actually said:
Talking about croquettes. Normally Poles/Polesses have them with meat or mushroom/cabbage filling.
While my wife made them in another version with kale, onion, mushrooms, groats for our vegetarian kids. She also added mountain cheese.

I did and you explained that your wife made a vegetarian version of croquettes for your vegetarian kids. But you said I was wrong when I suggested croquettes.
Just because they don't have meat in doesn't mean that they're no longer a croquette.
